DHAKA — Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan Tuesday urged star batsman Mushfiqur Rahim to change his mind and tour Pakistan next month.Mushfiqur hit an unbeaten 203 in Bangladesh's big win over Zimbabwe in the one-off Test in Dhaka but had cited safety concerns to skip the first two parts of a three-leg tour of Pakistan.Hassan told reporters that Mushfiqur had not informed the board of his decision about the final leg."But I hope he will go (to Pakistan)," Hassan said."Every contracted player should go.

Man City take fight to UEFA on and off the field
LONDON — Manchester City may be set to go to war with UEFA, but time is of the essence for the English champions to satisfy their quest to win the Champions League.City head to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, knowing failure to beat 13-time winners Real Madrid over two legs could be their final European adventure for two years.UEFA slapped a stunning two-season ban on City earlier this month for overstating sponsorship income between 2012 and 2016 to breach Financial Fair Play rules and failing to cooperate once an investigation was re-opened following the leak of internal emails to German magazine Der Spiegel.City remain belligerent and insist they will beat UEFA off the field. An appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport will decide their fate for the next two years.In the...

MEXICO CITY — Rafael Nadal is back in action for the first time since his Australian Open quarterfinal exit, heading the field at the Mexico Open in Acapulco.A two-time former champion of the tournament, Nadal was knocked out in the second round last year by mercurial Australian Nick Kyrgios in a match that sparked angry words between the two.Nadal accused Kyrgios of "lacking respect" after he served underarm in their 2019 clash, but the Spaniard said Monday he felt no lingering resentment."Last year, I lost a tight match that I should have won, but it's part of our sport and I don't have a bad memory of that," Nadal said."I have never had a feeling of revenge, no feeling of revenge helps you win games, but the opposite," he added.
